Thirty Outstanding Hong Kong Students to Visit New York City and Washington, D.C., for Global Citizenship Program
From Ascribe Newsfeed:
Thirty outstanding students from universities in Hong Kong will visit New York City and Washington, D.C., from June 17-25 to participate in The Dragon Foundation's Global Citizenship Program, designed to develop the skills and qualities they will need to be global citizens in the 21st century. The students will have the opportunity to learn from outstanding world leaders, collaborate on a group project, learn about opportunities for community building, and explore the New York area with local mentors and host families, and they will also visit the World Bank and other important sites in Washington, D.C.
For the second year, The Dragon Foundation, based in Hong Kong, has joined in partnership with the Institute of International Education (IIE), a New York-based not-for-profit international educational and professional exchange organization, to create this interactive leadership program for students in all disciplines from Hong Kong universities. The 30 undergraduate students who will take part this year were selected through a highly competitive application and interview process based on their academic accomplishments and potential to become global citizens and leaders in an interconnected world. Before coming to the U.S. to attend the Global Citizenship Conference, the students participated in an orientation and commissioning ceremony in Hong Kong. Read more from this post.
